More people than that die every year in the US from murder. About 90,000 women are raped each year in the US and have their lives irreparably damaged. On average 35,000 people die every year in the US from the common flu. Worlwide almost that many children die everyday fron hunger related illnesses in the 3rd world. Just putting those numbers into some sort of perspective
Terrible but not really large numbers...
